(1)For those in need of labeling artists, a band like CAVO could be described as radio-friendly. In years past, the crowds and enthusiasm at their shows, coupled with solid songs and quality recordings, would cause the record companies to come a-sniffin’.
Given the uncertainty of today’s music industry, though, a band like CAVO wouldn’t be faulted for growing discouraged…but it hasn’t. A band like CAVO is a band that perseveres, a band that believes in its own strength, continually challenging itself while staying true to its collective vision.
But for this strength, The Painful Art of Letting Go, their second independent release, may have never been. The group endured production missteps, substance abuse and the decline of personal relationships, only to pull together in solidarity…and creativity.
The title reflects just one side of the multilayered album. Explains vocalist Casey Walker, “The album provides a unique balance of opposites: happiness and sadness, shallowness and depth. Even though we’ve all experienced loss and disappointment recently, it’s made us who we are today, and we’re quite proud of what we’ve become as a band."
“There are definitely songs on this record that show the harsh realities of life and trying to keep your head above water,” he concedes. “Songs like ‘Awake,’ ‘Nameless’ and ‘Painful Art’ came to fruition as the band dealt with several internal and personal struggles.”
Finally, the tide turned, as 2007 proved to be a good year for CAVO. After earning an opening slot with Staind, the band returned to the studio to begin writing and recording their as-yet-untitled album. They closed the year with the honor of being voted 2 indie band on Alternative Addiction.
Songs from the forthcoming album are already making a splash. First single “Champagne” is garnering accolades on hometown alt-rock station 105.7 The Point; also noteworthy is “Come Undone,” a smooth cover of the Duran Duran classic featuring Republic Universal Recording artist Shannon Nicole.
With CAVO, all four members are in it together: each contributes to the songwriting process, each shares in the band’s triumphs and setbacks. Says drummer Chad Laroy, “Bands are like having four other girlfriends. That is one hell of a relationship, and it has to be fairly equal.”
Chris, too, recognizes the camaraderie of the quartet. His idea of success? “Having a group of your closest friends, and being able to create and play music together.”
By their own account, then, the guys in CAVO have already made it; it won’t be long before the rest of the world catches up.
(2) "Japan's mysterious Cavo, who just happen to be labelmates of the amazing (and amazingly monickered) Bathtub Shitter, and feature a member of Corrupted! The first two tracks are a bit misleading, a hazy pagan ritual of gutteral almost-throat singing, temple bells and slow chants. Reminds us a bit of Ghost or Comus. But the ritual quickly grow in intensity until it's a chaotic swirl of tribal drums, shouted vocals, sludgy low end, repetitive riffs, and thick viscous ambience. Like a primitive mix of the Boredoms and Crash Worship. The tribal melee continues, interrupted briefly with one more ambient interlude, all low end rumble and groaning vocalisations, sounding like Keiji Haino with strep throat fronting Earth. Toward the end of the record the sludge coalesces into a weirdly catchy Viking style sing-a-long, lots of WOOOAH OOH OHHH's until things wind down in a truly creepy ritual of spoken female vocals, clapping, manic chanting, shouts, screams and whistles. Comus meets the Boredoms? The Wickerman performed by Corrupted? Boris covers the Incredible String Band? More amazing and baffling Japanese weirdness!" (Stolen from the Internet).
Let It Go
Cavo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a breathe, say good night
But don't ever go away
Wait around to find the time
Only you can take what's mine
But don't ever go away
Fade it out into the light
All these years we never get it right
I need to let it go
No more reasons to defy
That I believed that you were mine
I need to let it go
A chance to change or stay the same
One night with out the blame
That don't ever go away
Only you can make it right
To walk away with out a fight
But don't ever go away
I'll be waiting, I need to let it go
Fade it out into the light
All these years we never get it right
I need to let it go
No more reasons to defy
That I believed that you were mine
I need to let it go
I wish you'd let me go
The lyrics to Cavo's song "Let It Go" are about the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The first verse talks about the difficulty of saying goodbye, but still needing to push through and not let the past hold you back. The lyrics also mention waiting for the right time to move on and not letting anyone else take control of your life. The chorus repeats the phrase "I need to let it go," emphasizing the importance of moving forward and not dwelling on the past. The second verse mentions the need to stop fighting and accept that the relationship is over, as well as the desire to have closure and not hold any resentment towards the other person.
The overall message of the song is one of acceptance and letting go of the past. It can be difficult to move on from a relationship, especially when there are unresolved feelings, but the lyrics encourage the listener to push through and not let the past dictate their future. The use of the phrase "let it go" is powerful, as it implies a release and a sense of freedom from the weight of the past.

Wait it out till the light
Hold on, endure the darkness until the light returns
Take a breathe, say good night
Pause, take a deep breath and bid farewell to the past
But don't ever go away
Stay with me, don't leave me stranded
Wait around to find the time
Stick around until the moment is right
Only you can take what's mine
You have the power to possess what belongs to me
But don't ever go away
Please don't abandon me, stay close by
I'll be waiting', I need to let it go
I'll be patient, but I know I must release this burden
Fade it out into the light
Allow it to dissolve into the brightness
All these years we never get it right
For all this time, we've failed to make it work
I need to let it go
I must relinquish the grip I've had on this situation
No more reasons to defy
I have no further motive to resist
That I believed that you were mine
I held the belief that you belonged to me
I need to let it go
I am obligated to give up this attachment
A chance to change or stay the same
An opportunity to evolve or remain stagnant
One night with out the blame
A night free of accusations and guilt
That don't ever go away
May it not disappear, may it last forever
Only you can make it right
It is in your power to make things right
To walk away with out a fight
To leave peacefully without argument
But don't ever go away
Even if we part ways, please remain in my life
I'll be waiting, I need to let it go
I'll be here, but I cannot hold onto this any longer
Fade it out into the light
Allow it to disappear into the illumination
All these years we never get it right
Even after all this time, we have yet to succeed
I need to let it go
I must release this weight I've been bearing
No more reasons to defy
I'm done resisting
That I believed that you were mine
That I held onto the belief that you belonged to me
I need to let it go
I must let it slip from my grasp
I wish you'd let me go
I yearn for you to set me free

I'm so confused, how does this not have more likes, let alone views? I'm watching all the music videos to all of the Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen, reliving through the memories and nostalgic moments of the 2000s. I would've thought this song would have been more popular, still love this song, it touches memories and emotions. Still can't believe the years ago it was released and still underated compared to others. Great music nonetheless, these songs really made the movie. <3 Transformers/music bands. Peace
@tysonschubert1910
Thanks for the like Cavo, that means a lot. I never really get much likes but I love this music and it probably has the most impact on my life, through emotions and situations. Hope the band continues to make great music and continue to gain the recognition for your awesome music

Just hearing this song reminds me of listening to this song when I was a 14 year old. In six years so much has changed. Miss hearing music like this on the radio :(
